Stu:

From the original FMP7 press release:

Databases can store up to 8 terabytes of information—4,000 times the old limit!

Fields can store up to 4 gigabytes.

Text fields can now store up to 2 gigabytes

It depends on the field type.

The text field limit in FMP 6 and earlier was 64 kB. This is 2 GB in FMP 7 and later.

Number fields are limitd to 256 characters/digits in FMP 6 and earlier. I think this also applies to FMP 7 and later.

[comment]

Text or Number fields can have up to 1 billion characters per field per repetition (limited by available memory).

A Container field can have "multiple streams of binary data totaling no more then 4 gigabytes".
